Chapter 101: Total blind guess (2/2)

“Because of his pride, his absolute confidence in his victory. Let’s just say it’s a warm-up. There’s also his respect for the opponent.” Lee smiled faintly. “It seems Ferguillo sees this guy as a friend worthy of respect.”

“I don’t have the strength to fight anymore. You’d probably knock me out in a single strike now.” Ayrin said at this time, “Ferguillo, I concede. I’ll definitely beat you in the future though.”

Hearing him conceding defeat, seeing him trembling from head toe because of his excessive exhaustion, Ferguillo nodded and said in a faint tone, just as he usually did when faced with some challenges, “I’m waiting for you.”

But when Ayrin panted, then turned around and walked towards the edge of the field, he once again added in a whisper, “Do your best.”

Hearing Ferguillo’s words, the utterly exhausted Ayrin seemed to gain a little strength again. He shouted loudly at Chris about to enter the field, shouted at everyone, “Brave warriors, everyone has to do their best!”

“Ayrin, thank you.”

Chris welcomed Ayrin with a light hug, then told him in a serious tone, “We can enter the national tournament now.”

“Amazing Girl, are you confident in your victory?” Ayrin scratched his head, a little embarrassed, “What are you thanking me for, it’s my dream as well.”

“What, it’s directly Chris’ turn to fight for Holy Dawn Academy?”

“Amazing Girl Chris is actually coming out in third position already? The confrontation between Chris and Ferguillo is going to happen straight away?”

Shouts and exclamations instantly filled the whole stands.

“Chris actually hugged Ayrin?”

“Isn’t she a crazy girl who only knows to train? Why is she doing something so warm and gentle?”

“What does it mean? Does she want to snatch Ayrin away from Charlotte?”

“Charlotte is in a really tight spot, the distance will create a gap between them.”

Many such voices also came from the stands at the same time.

Charlotte, the protagonist of these surprised voices, lowered her head with utter innocence, her face as red as a ripe apple.

..

Chris against Ferguillo, this was definitely a peak confrontation in St. Lauren.

Chris, Ferguillo, as well as the mysterious Ivan. Those were publicly recognized as the strongest three persons among all the academies in St. Lauren.

The intrinsic qualities of Chris’ body and her fighting intuition were strong enough to make someone’s hair stand on end. Many arcane masters, even with one more open gate than her, weren’t her match at all. Especially since she learned this year one of the strongest secret skills in Holy Dawn Academy, Dark Destruction Dragon!

As to Ferguillo, even though the vast majority of people were unaware that he successfully trained the unique Mind Reading this year, everyone could still tell that he was considerably more formidable compared to last year.

“You are very fortunate this year to have so many strong teammates fighting at your side. This strengthens my belief that effort and perseverance will always be rewarded.” Watching Chris coming in front of him, the usually taciturn Ferguillo actually took the initiative to say, “That said, I don’t hope for you to use Dark Destruction Dragon in this fight.”

“Why?” Chris looked at him, a little puzzled.

“No matter which team qualifies, it will very quickly have to face even stronger teams in the national tournament, even stronger opponents.” Ferguillo faintly told her, “With your current body and arcane level, you’re bound to suffer serious harm using a taboo skill like Dark Destruction Dragon. You’d certainly miss the next match. Also, if you can’t break my Mind Reading, there isn’t much meaning either in using Dark Destruction Dragon. At most, we’d both suffer.”

“I wasn’t planning to use Dark Destruction Dragon anyway.” Chris’ smile brimmed with self-confidence as she said, “I understand your meaning, what you want is… for us to determine the victor while avoiding heavy injuries as much as possible?”

Ferguillo nodded. He directly said, “Each of us seals an arcane gate away, how about it?”

“A very good proposal. We will both decrease the power of our arcane skills manyfold. It’ll lessen the harm on the opponent this way, but it won’t prevent us from determining who’s really the stronger one.” Chris nodded, also very straightforward.

“What are Ferguillo and Chris doing?”

Many people in the stands suddenly noticed two balls of light flaring on both Chris and Ferguillo’s bodies, then quickly receding.

“Seal an arcane gate each, to reduce their arcane skills’ destructiveness?”

In the stands, Rinsyi exposed a little cold, mocking smile. “They actually harbor ambitions about the national tournament with teams like these. No matter what, it’s simply ridiculous struggling, all to no avail.”

“Alright.”

In the center of the field, Chris and Ferguillo both gestured at the referee that they were ready.

“Chris against Ferguillo, begin!”

Along the referee’s clear and resonant voice, the strongest battle in St. Lauren finally began!
